    What a sad, perfect distillation of the male weakness that hides beneath so much apparent male strength. Kanye says he felt disempowered by the slogan “I’m with her.” Solidarity experienced as threat, as smallness.https://twitter.com/keithboykin/status/1050435340417286144 …

        And this is the one thing no one is picking apart. He was insecure because a woman might be president. #weakbitch

        How do we make sure that boys and young men don’t see toxic masculinity as strength that they want to emulate and be a part of?

        It made me angry and sad. People in FL are devastated right now, a journalist is presumed murdered by a close ally of Trump and Kushner, PR hasn't recovered, children are separated from their parents and this is where our president focuses his energy. It's disheartening.

        Makes sense Kanye West would say this while he was sitting next to Jim Brown, domestic violence poster boy.

        Kanye puts words together just like Trump. It starts in one place ... detours ... doubles back ... wash ... repeat ... spin ... spin ... spin. A man who brags about not reading books. K & T, 2 stable geniuses. 😑

        Kanye statement is an example of how Fascism is enticing. It makes you feel special and privileged. This is why the poor & stupid fall for it, they(we) all want to feel special. Same reason Evangelical churches are so popular. Problem is, is that it's all lies & deceitpic.twitter.com/GRXCaJK1KE

        Sad thing is. Kanye could use his power going to a youth program in inner city Chicago, or establishing a mentoring program for youth trying to break away from the violence in their community. The MSM would be all over it. But, he's choosing MAGAt's.
